Hey, I had a few questions about the custom Buck 110's, so I went and asked Buck via email. I posted the answers here for anyone who might have had the same questions:

Q: Are the S30V blades Stamped, etched, or engraved?
A: Etched

Q: Do the 2014 S30V blades still have the Bos mark?
A: Yes

Q: Is the heritage walnut scale material actual solid Walnut wood, or is it dymondwood?
A: All the woods are Dymondwood

Q: Do the 2014 S30V blades come with the 50 year stamp?
A: No, Only the standard 110BRS
 
I know I have seen a custom shop knife with a fifty year stamp. Search the forum. Also I thought the more expensive wood variations like the koa was real.
 
I called Buck last year and they told me the Koa was the only real wood. All the rest are dymondwood.
 
I have an ironwood alpha hunter(custom shop) that is also real. They give you the natural markings card with the knife
 
Well, I don't know... The answers are the EXACT answers I got from Buck. They said all the wood is dymondwood. IDK
 
I would assume they mean all in house knives are dymondwood, custom either by them or another could be anyone's guess.
 
really? i'm 14 and even I thought that joke was retarded... your joke is bad and you should feel bad
 
Here's a really late update since I got my knife. Yes, the stamp is etched, yes there is a bos mark, yes the walnut is dymondwood, and the Buck 110 has the 50 year stamp.

Photo please of your custom shop 110 with 50th tang stamp. Thank you.
 
Here it is. Heritage Walnut scales, brass bolsters, finger grooves, S30v blade. IMHO the "walnut" scales look more like the oak scales shown on their website. But other than that, it's great.

Oh baby! Very nice knife and terrific photos. Thank you kindly.

The 110s with the 50th tang just multiplied. Is it even possible to collect them all? You'll need all custom shop variations now. Yes you will. A big number.

Dang! Each handle scale with and without fingergrooves, each of those with and without rivets, each of those with and without serrations, each of those with each blade steel and finish, and after all that each of all of those with brass or nickel silver..... oh then 3 styles of sheaths....did I forget anything?

YIKES!!!!!! :dejection: Just the Paua Shell ones alone would be multiple thousands of dollars!!

Yep, you forgot the different variations of engravings. If you were to get a new knife for each and every variation of engraving of 1-8 characters, capital and lowercase and symbols, it would amount to at least 3607824528 different knives. So if you got EVERY SINGLE variation of knife, you would have exactly 10823473818 different knives (over 10.82 billion). Based on the 4-6 week waiting period, plus the one week of shipping, it would take about 1244614947 years to obtain all of them (assuming you had one worker doing all of them).
 
On the 6-8-14 SPS, 2nd post, my custom knife shows a 50 year stamp in the anvil. I do have to figure out how to take better pictures though.
 
Now I'm curious about the horn handled custom knife. Are the buffalo horn, ram horn, and elk stag real? Or are they another material? Curious because I have the water buffalo handled 110.
